The laborers are few but the harvest is plenty. We beg the Lord of the harvest to send us out, to send us out.
You send us out as lambs in the midst of wolves, to proclaim the kingdom of God to those who have ears to hear.
We offer You praise O Father, Lord of heaven and earth. For what You’ve hidden from the learned and wise, You’ve revealed to the merest children.
We must be ready, the time is short. Not one of us may stand idle. We must go out for the fields are ripe.
Most Holy Trinity, we soon begin the Lenten Season desiring to know you more clearly, love you more fully, and serve you more readily. Stir up the hearts of our lay faithful to hunger for a deeper relationship with each Person of the Trinity, and especially the One to whom they feel most distant. Mother Mary we ask your intercession in the spiritual battle for souls, that Satan’s strategy would be thwarted so that the truth about the power of prayer would be proclaimed and embraced during the Mission Week, and many more lay men and women would AWAKE & PRAY to join the people of the remnant. Amen.
